Looks like the new "boss" pets are on the PTR! Thought I'd make a thread showing what I've found so far. If you have anything to add, please do!

As shown in the pictures, the fabled pets have yellow paw prints above their heads instead of green, so they're pretty easy to spot.

You can currently fight them without being on the quest (though this may change). They seem to have normal pet moves, but are much stronger. Pets don't copy to the PTR at the moment so I couldn't properly test the battles.

Mumper said they're going to be rare. We don't know how rare though!

I have to wonder about this. If this becomes a daily, the natural assumption is that it can be completed each day. I can't imagine the elite pets will be extremely hard to find if they're part of a quest we should be able to complete on a daily basis.

Abilities that cause a % of your health as damage (like Predatory Strike, Impale, Trample...) would be OP, and if the elite pet had an ability that healed a % of health (like Buried Treasure or Wish) they'd be impossible to kill.

Also, can someone report on their speed and power? For a much higher than normal power score healing abilities also sound very hard to deal with.

I got the cricket down with just a magical crawdad, and the goat was easy with a clockwork gnome and a darkmoon zep. I will say that the % thing works both ways, though. The zep's explode did a crapload of damage.

Yea are you able to catch these things? Could you imagine a team of 3 of these? Oh god the horror!!!! lol

Edit: And if we are able to tame these do they keep their "legendary" level stats or are they reduced to say a rare or epic level quality? Would be cool to see "Epic" quality pets brought into pet battles! lol
